Phil Mickelson apologized Tuesday for comments he  made about the PGA Tour and organizers of a Saudi-financed league, saying, “Although it doesn’t look this way now given my recent comments, my actions throughout this process have always been with the best interests of golf, my peers, sponsors and fans.”

Author Alan Shipnuck released an excerpt last week from his upcoming biography of Mickelson in which the golfer described the Saudis as “scary,” but said he was looking past their history of human rights violations to advocate for their proposed breakaway league to gain leverage with the PGA Tour.
